Full Plot Summary

As Luffy sinks into the ocean, Chopper continues to battle Queen, but is demotivated from his captain's defeat. Across Onigashima, various samurai and allies react to Bao Huang's announcement, with some reacting like Chopper and some refusing to believe it. Meanwhile, Onigashima approaches the Land of Wano, finally reaching the mainland. As the samurai begin to give up in their fight, the Nine Red Scabbards continue to fight, stating they won't stop until they defeat Kaidou. Izo points out how they can't confirm Luffy's death, and Kawamatsu remarks that even the possibility destroyed morale. However, Sanji refuses to even consider that Luffy lost, getting angry at the samurai for thinking that they might have lost. Back on the Performance Floor, Queen now has the upper hand against Chopper, as Perospero continues to bombard the samurai with arrows. They encourage everybody to give up fighting, as Queen is about to bite Chopper wit retractable needle-like fangs; however, he's stopped by Sanji whose kick is hard enough to send Queen's head spinning, causing him to intercept all of Perospero's arrows as well as send Perospero himself flying. He congratulates Chopper for holding off Queen enough for him to arrive, and tells him to continue trusting in Luffy, before handing him Zoro and telling to take care of the injured swordsman. Sanji resolves to fight Queen, and the samurai look on in awe, noting how he doesn't give up despite his captain having been defeated. Meanwhile, above the first floor, Kaido easily defeats Kin'emon. Despite his injuries, Kin'emon continues to stand up and stab Kaido with his broken sword, allowing Shinobu and Momonosuke time to run. As he struggles, Kin'emon thinks back to when they were sent to the present day. He thinks back to when he and Momonosuke pretended to be father and son, and encourages him to continue living. However, he is stabbed by Kaido, collapsing to the floor. As Momonosuke runs with Shinobu, he also thinks back to his time with Kin'emon. He resolves himself to tell the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance members that Luffy isn't dead, and speaks into one of the Marys, announcing it across the island. He declares that Luffy is speaking to him, and encourages the allies to continue fighting until Luffy returns to the island.
